The bulb used inside the appliance is
specifically designed for domestic appliances and
is not suitable for general room lighting within the
home (EC Regulation 244/2009).

The appliance is designed for operation in
places where the ambient temperature comes
within the following ranges, according to the
climatic class given on the rating plate. The
appliance may not work properly if it is left for a
long time at a temperature outside the specified
range.

Climatic class ambient temperatures:
SN: From 10°C to 32°C ;  N: From 16°C to 32°C
ST: From 16°C to 38°C ;  T: From 16°C to 43°C

This appliance does not contain CFCs. The
refrigerant circuit contains R600a (HC).

Appliances with Isobutane (R600a):
isobutane is a natural gas without
environmental impact, but is flammable.

Therefore, make sure the refrigerant circuit
pipes are not damaged, especially when
emptying the refrigerant circuit.

WARNING: Do not damage the appliance

refrigerant circuit pipes.

WARNING: Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure,
clear of obstruction.

WARNING: Do not use mechanical, electric or
chemical means other than those recommended
by the Manufacturer to speed up the defrost
process.

WARNING: Do not use or place electrical
devices inside the appliance compartments if they
are not of the type expressly authorised by the
Manufacturer.

WARNING: Ice makers and/or water dispensers
not directly connected to the water supply must
be filled with potable water only.

WARNING: Automatic ice-makers and/or water
dispensers must be connected to a water supply
that delivers potable water only, with mains water
pressure between 0.17 and 0.81 MPa (1.7 and 8.1
bar).

Do not store explosive substances such as
aerosol cans and do not place or use gasoline
or other flammable materials in or near the
appliance.

Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the
ice packs (provided with some models). Do not
eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking
them out of the freezer since they may cause cold
burns.

For products designed to use an air filter inside
an accessible fan cover, the filter must always be
in position when the refrigerator is in function.

Do not store glass containers with liquids in

the freezer compartment since they may break.
Do not obstruct the fan (if included) with food

items.
After placing the food check that the door of

compartments closes properly, especially the
freezer door.

Damaged gaskets must be replaced as soon as
possible.

Use the refrigerator compartment only for
storing fresh food and the freezer compartment
only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food
and making ice cubes.

Avoid storingunwrappedfood in direct contact
with internal surfaces of the refrigerator or freezer
compartments.

Appliances could have special compartments
(Fresh Food Compartment, Zero Degree Box,...).
Unless differently specified in the specific booklet

of product, they can be removed, maintaining
equivalent performances.

C-Pentane is used as blowing agent in the
insulation foam and it is a flammable gas.

The most appropriate compartments of the
appliance where specific types of food are to be
stored, taking into account different temperature
distribution in different compartments in the
appliance, are as follows:

- Refrigerator compartment:

1) Upper area of the refrigerator compartment &
door - temperature zone: Store tropical fruit, cans,
drinks, eggs, sauces, pickles, butter, jam

2) Middle area of the refrigerator compartment ­cool zone: Store cheese, milk, dairy food, deli food,
yoghurt

3) Lower area of the refrigerator compartment

- coldest zone: Store cold cuts, desserts, meat
and fish, cheesecake, fresh pasta, sour cream,
pesto/salsa, home-cooked food, pastry cream,
pudding and cream cheese

4) Fruit & vegetable drawer at the bottom of the
refrigerator compartment: Store vegetables and
fruits (excluding tropical fruits)

5) Chiller compartment: Only store meat and fish
in the coldest drawer

- Freezer compartment:
4 star zone (****) compartment is suitable for

freezing foodstuffs from ambient temperature and
for storing frozen food as the temperature is evenly
distributed throughout the entire compartment.
Purchased frozen food has the storage expiration
date stated on the packaging. This date takes
into account the type of food being stored and
therefore this date should be respected. Fresh
food should be stored for the following time
periods: 1-3 months for cheese, shellfish, ice
cream, ham/sausage, milk, fresh liquids; 4 months
for steak or chops (beef, lamb, pork); 6 months
for butter or margarine, poultry (chicken, turkey);
8-12 months for fruits (except citrus), roast meat
(beef, pork, lamb), vegetables. Expiration dates on
the packaging of foods in the 2-star zone must be
respected.

To avoid food contamination, please observe the
following:

– Opening the door for long periods can cause
a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.

– Regularly clean surfaces that may come
into contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.

– Clean water tanks if they have not been used for
48 h; flush the water system connected to a water
supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.

– Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers
in the refrigerator, so that it does not come into
contact with or drip onto other food.

– Two-star frozen food compartments are suitable
for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice
cream and ice cubes.

– Do not freeze fresh food in one, two or three-star
compartments.

– If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for
long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and
leave the door open to prevent mould developing
inside the appliance.

INSTALLATION

The appliance must be handled and installed
by two or more persons - risk of injury. Use
protective gloves to unpack and install - risk of
cuts.

Installation, including water supply (if any),
electrical connections and repairs must be carried
out by a qualified technician. Do not repair or
replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
stated in the user manual. Keep children away from
the installation site. After unpacking the appliance,
make sure that it has not been damaged during
transport. In the event of problems, contact the
dealer or your nearest Aftersales Service. Once
installed, packaging waste (plastic, styrofoam
parts etc.) must be stored out of reach of
children - risk of suffocation. The appliance must
be disconnected from the power supply before
any installation operation - risk of electric shock.
During installation, make sure the appliance does
not damage the power cable - risk of fire or electric
shock. Only activate the appliance when the
installation has been completed.

Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g.
parquet) when moving the appliance. Install the
appliance on a floor or support strong enough to
take its weight and in a place suitable for its size
and use. Make sure the appliance is not near a heat
source and that the four feet are stable and resting
on the floor, adjusting them as required, and check
that the appliance is perfectly level using a spirit
level. Wait at least two hours before switching the
appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit
is fully efficient.

WARNING: When positioning the appliance,

ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

WARNING: To avoid a hazard due to instability,
positioning or fixing of the appliance must be done
in accordance with the manufacturer instructions.
It's forbidden to place the refrigerator in such way
that the metal hose of gas stove, metal gas or
water pipes, or electrical wires are in contact with
the refrigerator back wall (condenser coil).

To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a
space on both sides and above the appliance. The
distance between the rear of the appliance and
the wall behind the appliance should be 50 mm,
to avoid access to hot surfaces. A reduction of
this space will increase the Energy consumption
of product.
